Chapter two hundred and seventy first: embarrassing exchange(1/2)
While Lucheng was extorting money from Mingtong Zhenfo, Yang Ming and Tang Er had already followed Sally to the Tianzhu restaurant.
This restaurant also has a very strong religious flavor, but in terms of decoration and location, this restaurant is impeccable.
Although it doesn't have the magnificence of Songhe Tower, which is the best in the world, as a restaurant, I have to say it's pretty good.
This restaurant is called Fu Xilan. As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the fragrance of spices. It seems that spices are the soul of Tianzhu cuisine.
When Yang Ming was studying Tianzhu cuisine with Zuo Gong, he had indeed thought about the wonderful uses of spices.
In Tianzhu’s cooking system, the ingredients used to match spices are basically the most common meats and crops.
Among them, fish and chicken are the main meats, and among the crops, potatoes, onions and carrots are more commonly chosen.
In Tianzhu, people don't eat beef because cows are sacred here, although I don't know how sacred this cow is...
There are actually many varieties of vegetables, but potatoes and carrots are the more common dishes.
Fresh green leafy vegetables can only be eaten depending on the season, but potatoes and carrots can be seen here almost all year round.
Tianzhu’s staple food is also rich in variety. Whether it is wheat or rice, they are widely grown here.
Yang Ming and others walked into Fu Xilan Restaurant and sat in a private room under the guidance of the waiter. The daily supply of Fu Xilan Restaurant was very fixed.
Here, diners can only taste the food they provide, but have no independent choice.
It can be seen that the chefs here are very confident in their craftsmanship.
“It’s such a strange restaurant that you can’t order your own food.”
"If this were in the Cloud Empire, I would probably have to stretch out the shopkeeper's ears."
Tang Er was very unhappy as the head of the family. Even if he went to a brothel to play with girls, he still had the right to choose.
After all, each person has his own taste. If he is not allowed to choose and the girl can only play with whichever one she wants when she comes, Tang Er, the boss, will probably tear down the entire store for him.
It's a pity that this is in Tianzhu Kingdom, not in the Cloud Empire.
"You can go now. I can give you directions. The boss here is a fat woman who weighs more than 200 kilograms."
"I guess when you see her, you don't even have the intention to touch her."
Sally really had a thorough look at Tang Er's family, that's for sure!
Tang Er, the head of the family, is a man with mysophobia! Not to mention the fat woman who weighs more than 200 pounds, even those men don’t want to be touched by him!
Therefore, when he kills people, he always wears gloves!
Except for those beautiful girls with the fragrance of flowers on their bodies who can be touched by Master Tang Er, the rest of the people can only touch the hands of Master Tang Er.
Basically, he will give him a knife...
Chop your fingers.
"Today's special dishes are stewed sea fish in red curry, mango rice rolls and toasted wheat cakes."
Yang Ming looked at today's features on the table and frowned.
Stewed sea fish in red curry sounds like a stew, but if you cook the sea fish with a lot of spices, will it really not cause a taste conflict?
Sea fish should be famous for their freshness and tenderness. A large amount of spices will directly break the freshness and tenderness, making it impossible to taste the more delicious taste.
This is a very bad combination. Is it possible that this chef can really stew this fish into flowers?
Just when Yang Ming was struggling, he could already smell a very strong fragrance before he even saw the dishes being served.
This scent is a complex one
And the mixed fragrance, among this complex fragrance, a refreshing fruity fragrance is slowly released.
“It smells quite good!”
Tang Er's boss hadn't even eaten yet, but he already had a full sense of anticipation when he smelled the taste.
Yes, the taste...
Even before anyone tastes this Tianzhu dish, the taste alone is enough to make people want it.
This is a brand new field. Of course, in the Cloud Empire, there is also this cooking method of using taste to preemptively attack.
Whether steamed or roasted, it can emit a very strong aroma, but it is really interesting that stewed things can have such a complex aroma.
"Dear guests, I have kept you waiting for a long time. This is today's delicious food prepared by Chef Ahanada for you!"
“Stewed sea fish in red curry, mango rice rolls and toasted wheat cakes!”
The waiter came to the table carrying a huge pot, which was as big as Yang Ming's body. Although the pot was covered with a lid, the strong aroma burst out.
It is not difficult to imagine how strong the aroma will be when the lid is lifted.
"Guests, are you ready? Get ready to enjoy the taste feast that Chef Ahanada brings to you!"
The waiter opened the lid of the pot, and a rich aroma came out. Although the aroma contained a very strong smell of spices, the smell of sea fish was not covered at all.
Yang Ming's nose was very sensitive, and he smelled the unique smell of sea fish.
This delicious taste seemed to be mixed with a sweet fragrance. When he looked into the big pot, the boiling red soup enveloped the snow-white fish meat.
A layer of rich gravy hangs on the fish. If this curry sauce is used with that toasted wheat cake, it will definitely make people's fingers lick their fingers!
Not only that, there is also a sweetness of coconut in this red curry sauce!
"What a magical combination is this..."
Sure enough, even though Yang Ming had discussed with Zuo Gong how to make Tianzhu cuisine, actually eating Tianzhu cuisine was completely different from talking about it on paper.
This red curry stewed sea fish made Yang Ming completely interested in Tianzhu cuisine!
"Okay, don't just look at it, let's have a taste."
The waiter opened the lid and left. Sally invited Tang Ke and Yang Ming to try the dish to see if it suited their taste.
I have to say that the taste is indeed very intoxicating. Master Tang Er just took a bite of this sea fish meat and immediately showed a look of surprise.
"This smell is so amazing!"
He, Tang Er, has been traveling all over the country for so many years as head of the family, and he has eaten a lot of good food.
However, the pot of red curry stewed sea fish in front of him opened up a new world of taste for him!
I never thought that the taste of sea fish could have such rich layers!
What the spices bring to the fish meat is not only the deliciousness of the sea, but also the impact on the taste buds layer by layer!
When the fish enters your mouth, the first thing you feel is a very tender touch, and then, a pungency and excitement like a blazing flame sweep across your mouth.
Complementing this fierce flame is a soft and sweet coconut flavor like lake water. Among the coconut flavor, there is also a refreshing mint!
These things attack the taster's mouth all at once, making the taste buds on the tip of the tongue jump directly.
Like a passionate beach dance! Like a hot Tianzhu girl!
The more Tang Er ate, the more excited he became, and he was actually sweating profusely after eating!
"No! I have to find an oiran to have some fun later!"
"Damn it, it doesn't matter that the prodigal turned back after all his previous efforts were done!"
"I'm angry! I have to vent my anger.
Otherwise, you’ll get suffocated!”
Completely ignoring Tang Er's words, Yang Ming just savored the mystery contained in the red curry soup.
The spiciness is from pepper and red pepper, and the impact is from curry leaves.
The sweet taste comes from the coconut milk and the coolness of mint leaves.
The flavor that brings it all together...
That smell seems to be hidden, serving as the glue between the two smells.
However, this smell gave Yang Ming a very familiar feeling.
"pineapple juice?"
Yang Ming said with some uncertainty that he did not taste the taste of pineapple juice, but that he was inspired by the sea fish meat.
Pineapple juice can neutralize the fishy smell of fish into a umami flavor, and then when paired with spices, it can have a very powerful aroma-enhancing effect.
"I never thought you could taste pineapple juice."
Sally looked at Yang Ming in disbelief. There have been many diners in Fuxilan over the years, and it is inevitable that some people will guess what the chef's winning weapon is.
However, they all undoubtedly failed. If Sally had not guessed the answer of pineapple juice, she would not have known about it at all.
The Ahanada chef told Sally to keep it a secret, but he didn't expect Yang Ming to be able to eat it.
"No, I didn't taste it, I guessed it."
Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, then picked up a piece of baked wheat cake, dipped it in red curry sauce and put it in his mouth.
I have to say, this baked wheat cake is really speechless, and paired with this red curry sauce, it is absolutely the perfect staple food!
The outside of the toasted wheat cake is toasted and crispy, but the inside of the wheat cake is really soft and delicious.
